Pine Wood-Valleywood residents are growing frantic over the loss of their dog Kaylee. 

The mixed-breed dog has been missing since March 1. Her owner says she's shy and unlikely to apprach strangers, according to a Facebook post. 

Her owners have set up the Facebook group "Help Kaylee Come Home" to widen the search.

If you see her in Lutherville-Timonium or the surrounding area, please contact me at (443) 621-2174 or by email at nickd@patch.com and I'll relay the information to the owners. You can also find direct contact information on the "Help Kaylee Come Home" Facebook page. 

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, take advantage of your local Patch site. We're tapped into the community and can help widen your search to our audience of thousands. You can post a missing pet poster directly to our sites in our Neighborhood Photo Galleries. 

In 2012 alone, Aberdeen residents have three times used a Patch site to reunite with a lost pet. You can read about the most recent case here.
